LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers
Author: SamThe Cleveland Cavaliers are currently the leading NBA basketball team in the Eastern Conference. They have a current record of 49 wins and only 15 loses which lands them far ahead of Orlando, which is the conference’s number 2 team. In fact, the Cavaliers are even ahead of the Western Conference leader the Los Angeles Lakers . This is a pretty impressive status, though it’s not uncommon to the recent years’ success rate of Cleveland’s team. And while it’s unlikely that many of the out of town guests staying in some of Cleveland’s finest resorts will be routing for the Cavaliers, they may enjoy a game at Quicken Loans Arena while they are in town. However, the room accommodations and fresh linens on the beds will be just as comfortable regardless of what team the occupant may route for.
However, for Cleveland fans, these statistics are extremely thrilling, though non too surprising. After having gone through several seasons of difficulty and great losses, the team seemed to have a turn around at about the same time they acquired a new number one draft pick. This of course is LeBron James , whose arrival on the team happened to correspond to a change in team colors. Their uniforms when from orange, blue and black to gold and wine, and the combined ingredients seemed to do much for the moral and success of the Cavaliers.
Most recently the team underwent some major transitions in 2005. Not only did they have a new owner, Dan Gilbert, but a new head coach was hired, Mike Brown as well as a new general manager, the former Cavalier forward Danny Ferry. They have seen winning seasons since that time and this year it looks like they have a good chance of bringing home a Championship title. They won the Conference title in 2007 and their divisional title in 2009. Of course there’s quite a bit of the regular season left, and there are some strong opponents in the Western Conference, but Cavalier fans have their eyes on the prize and are hoping their team finally brings it home.
